After a long sleep we drive the 30-odd kilometers to Breda and
join Marthy and his band, The Four One And Onlies, at their
tiny but beautifully-decorated studio. They are recording a
version of Jonathan Richman's UFO Man for some dubious
"tribute album", so we join in with handclaps and backing
vocals. We have some beers. Those that are interested in this
kind of thing are advised to look for the LP on Alienor Records,
an independent out of BordeauxFrance, in the near future.

In the evening, after an introduction to the World Of Roti
(tasty!), we descend on what is fast becoming the JBC's
Euro-base, Zinetti. Establishing ourselves on the balcony (well,
we hadn't played up there before) we play two lengthly acoustic
sets to a full house. For the last time Curt delivers his
ragga-skinhead rap on Camper Van Beethoven's wonderful tune, and that is
that. Back to Marthy's to watch The Monks on ancient
euro-videos, then bed.
